Why Color Matters More Than Clothing Itself
You can wear a premium T-shirt but if the color doesn’t flatter your skin tone, the overall fit looks average.
Color Determines Style Impact
| Style Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Skin Glow | Enhances or dulls your natural appearance |
| Body Proportion | Dark colors slim; light colors widen |
| First Impression | Color is the first thing people notice |
| Mood & Confidence | Color influences energy and presence |
When the color works:
→ Your outfit looks cleaner, sharper, more expensive.
When the color fails:
→ Even a ₹3,000 tee looks dull and unimpressive.
Conclusion:
Color selection is the foundation of great style.
